Which disposable items play an important role in your health? What can we learn from the history of disposables that might help us build a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable healthcare system for the future?\u00a0Although some single-use disposable items have components made of durable materials, like the metal needles found in the <strong>butterfly infusion set<\/strong> and<strong> Angiocath intravenous cannulation device<\/strong>, they are designed to be thrown away. The artifacts in this slideshow mark important moments in the history of healthcare technology, materials science, clinical practice, and the patient experience, but they won\u2019t last forever. Note how the plastic and paper components are deteriorating on some of these objects. See if you can spot where the latex has started to break down on the<strong> intravenous infusion set with needle catheter and 50mL intravenous solution bag attached<\/strong>. Can you identify any challenges to collecting and preserving disposable artifacts such as these?<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the <strong>3cc sterile single-use PLASTIPAK syringe<\/strong>, shown here with its packaging, <strong>stainless steel Luer Lock hypodermic needles<\/strong> were intended to be used repeatedly for venipuncture. Can you see the wires inserted in the cannula of each needle? These aided in cleaning and prevented bending during sterilization and transport. Reusable stainless steel needles were paired with glass syringes such as a <strong>1YV hypodermic syringe<\/strong> for injections and blood draws. In most U.S. hospitals, nurses and, later, supply technicians were responsible for cleaning, sterilizing, maintaining, and organizing durable clinical equipment through the 1980s, when the shift towards plastics and single-use disposables accelerated. There were many cultural, economic, and scientific changes that led to our current reliance on single-use disposables in healthcare.
